Coach’s Comments: 

“We had a good year last year, but it wasn’t good enough. We were 12 yards away from winning a state title in double overtime and if that doesn’t motivate you, I don’t know what does. We want to be a great program, be a champion, and be 1-0 every day. But there are a lot of outstanding programs and we must be prepared all the time. We have to earn the right to be considered a great program.” – Head Coach Steve Scanlon
